ARGH!!

Went and had lunch "with" Marty (he walked past my table and waved a few times.) Ran to the grocery store on the way home, and just as I was heading home got call that the boys were at the house waiting for me. They wee 1/2 hour early. Oops!

Rushed home, chatted with a friend for a few minutes (her son is the kid they played Halo all night with) and decided to run to Mc Donald's for lunch for the boys. (Thanks Andre! We never ate fast food before you came to visit!) Sitting in line at Mc Donalds, my temp gauge shot up again. WTF? Remember, I just had the water pump replaced two weeks ago.

Called my brother, and he got me home. (Let it cool *forever* and then drive like hell. Check!) While I was talking to him, the girls were blowing kisses and crossing fingers to get us home. I'm sure that is what got us here safe and sound. :o)

Of course, it is Saturday at 5, so no one is open. I will have to take it in first thing Monday.

On the way home the temp gauge stayed right where it should be, so we are hoping it is something stupid like the thingy getting stuck, so it decided to ding and spill antifreeze. Yea, I'm not holding my breath either.

I have had more trouble with this new(er) van than I ever did with my old one. What is that all about?

Oh well, I am going to go drown my sorrow in a big bowl of caramel and apple slices. I still have a ton of stuff to do for school next week... good thing I'm not going anywhere for a while. *snark*
